Precision Cutting, Zero Waste: Inside Emkay’s CNC Foam Fabrication Process

“We work to hundredths of a millimetre. That kind of accuracy saves material, time, and rework.”
Where speed meets precision
CNC machining has transformed the way we fabricate foam. At Emkay, we’ve taken that transformation further—by integrating cutting capabilities directly into our distribution model. That means our clients don’t just get materials fast. They get them machined to spec, ready to drop into production.
Our process ensures dimensional accuracy, tight tolerances, and repeatable quality—whether you’re ordering ten pieces or ten thousand. For aerospace, automotive, and electronics clients, that level of consistency isn’t a bonus—it’s a baseline.
Waste less, deliver more
Precision cutting does more than make parts fit. It cuts down on waste, reduces the need for secondary machining, and shortens production timelines. That’s good for your bottom line—and the environment.
From prototype to production run
Our CNC services are built to flex. Need a one-off for testing? We’ve got it. Need 500 matched panels in 3 days? We can do that too. With in-house capability and technical support, we’re built to scale with you.
We work closely with design and engineering teams to ensure our cuts match the application, from complex 3D shapes to ultra-flat sheets. We also advise on the best foams for your job, so you get optimal results with minimal rework.
Your foam partner from concept to cut
At Emkay, fabrication is more than a capability. It’s a commitment to helping clients move faster, waste less, and make every millimetre count.
